The first branch of the ‘Eightfold Path‘ is ‘Right View’ (sometimes called ‘Right Perspective’ or ‘Right Understanding’) …
… It is to study and to come to understand the world through fundamental Buddhist perspectives and philosophies, and to make those ways of seeing a natural part of one’s life. The Four Noble Truths, The Eightfold Path, The Precepts, the doctrines of Impermanence, the ‘Middle Way’, Non-existence of the ‘Self’, Cause and Effect, ‘Dependent Origination’, Buddhist views on the workings of the Mind … the insights of later teachers such as Master Dogen … the list goes on …
It’s not merely a matter of intellectual understanding, but of views which become a natural part of countless aspects of our lives.

Our Zazen Practice brings life to these doctrines, while each doctrine helps give shape to our Zazen.
